OK- here is a crafty question for you. Hope you don't mind.
If you take a look at this: http://www.governor.state.az.us/press/0410/04_10_20.htm
you will see a project my 4th graders did for Jan Nap! The kids had fun decorating (drawing and coloring) the "snowglobes" for the State Christmas Tree at the capital. My thought is for the kids to use this same snowglobe outline to make an ornament for their grownup's holiday gift. They will back it with the front of some of my old cards from Christmas' past. On the front of the "globe" will be a small picture of themselves.
If I mix some glitter into watered-down Elmer's glue and have them brush it onto the "globe" will it give a snowglobe effect? Is there something better to use to get the glittery-snow look? Should I just get some kind of spray on glitter? (Boy- that would be the easiest- I think I vote for that if it is an option!) Will I be able to laminate the finished ornaments or not because of what the high heat of the laminator might do to the glitter-Elmer's or glitter spray? (I cut out a Micheal's coupon from Sunday's paper yesterday in anticipation of your answer!)

Hi Jill!!
You can use the glitter spray but I'd go for the one in the can. Make sure you step back when you spray otherwise the liquid can drip on the picture. I know from experience!! It comes in silver or gold or multicolored. I think I'd go with silver. They also have water-based spray glitters, but the water may make the pictures wrinkle. And they are all fine for laminating!! I hope they turn out OK!! Keep me posted!!
Hugs and glitter,
